Yes, it happens, and, what they all said. Ultimately, though?
Talk to your doctor at your next check-up, rather than playing eenie meenie minie moe and picking the one that sounds the best.

Other Answers:
it means you might have overdosed

low blood pressure Head rush, happens to me frequently. Lack of blood to the brain.


It means you're out of shape.


I can't recall the technical term for it, but it sounds like you're not getting enough oxygen to your brain when you stand up (you're exerting more energy than your body has oxygen for). You need to slow down and stand more gradually. If it continues, see your doctor.

We all get that, it's just the oxygen going to your brain, like a short dizzy spell, try taking a couple of deep breaths and they should be gone (it's certainly not an overdose) just a normal thing. Could be Virtigo..but you see sometimes it happens when we are way too relaxed then suddenly we moved and the blood starts rushing through our veins.Or we fell asleep then a light source opens..those kind of instances. But if it happens almost all the time..better see a doctor. Hope this helps. God bless! ;0


Do you get dizzy also, if so you may have orthostatic hypotension


Does the term "seeing stars" ring a bell?

Reduced blood flow in your head.

Yes, I get them too, although I don't know what they mean, but seems to be normal, nothing to worry about I think most people experience this. It takes your blood a couple of seconds to catch up with you when you stand up too quickly. So, the blood to your brain is depleted thus causing strange effects.
Stand more slowly.


lucky for you i see sand when i do what you do i believe you're talking about the spots that naturally increase as you age there is a tech. word for them. if it only occurs when you get up you might want to get your blood sugar checked or make sure you eat regularly


Oooh I get that too! I think its something to do with the blood rushing to your head too quickly. Or something.


This is generally called postural hypotension; a low blood pressure in the top of your body which occurs on standing.

In order to understand postural hypotension, imagine the body as a column of fluid. When we’ve been lying down for a while, the column is horizontal, so the fluid pressure is equally distributed from head to toe.

When we stand up, the fluid column becomes vertical, causing the fluid pressure to increase at the bottom of the column, and fall dramatically at the top. This pressure drop must be corrected, otherwise blood flow to the brain will drop, and we'll get light-headed or pass out.

The body controls this by contracting blood vessels in the lower body and slightly increasing heart rate. Possible reasons this system can be disrupted include medication (beta blockers - drugs ending in lol and diuretics), nervous dysfunction (diabetes, alcoholism) and low blood volume (chronic diarrhoea, kidney disorders).

Depending on if it's causing you any other problems it may be necessary to see your doctor to identify and tackle the problem appropriately.
